Welcome buddy.

Rosey Brown until Ken Griffey Jr. gets here

Morrisey was always cool with me until now. He's talking with his friends. That's how some people were brought up. They use those type of words in their environment.

They're going to talk about it on Sportsnite in about 1 minute.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) So what the hell does this mean? Did he clear waviers, or is he in the process of going though waviers? If he clears, thats a big if because of the Yanks, and Cards, do you think KW will get him (wow thats a stupid question, cuz we all know he will) According to Bruce Levine on Chicago Tribune Live today, he was in the process of going through waivers(at least that's how I intrepreted it). He said, "Griffey has been put on the waiver wire."

OMG, you were living on the streets??? Wait, how did you post on soxtalk????

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Ya, my grades went to hell that year...classes got tougher and I got lazier. Me too. I thought after the first 2 years I could just cruise which was the exact opposite. Junior year is an outlier in my GPA.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) Fair warning: you guys are setting yourselves up for a serious let down. Griffey will not be a member of the Chicago White Sox this season. I'm sorry, it just ain't happening. I know.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) I will say this for the last time. IMO Ken Griffey Jr. will NOT be claimed by any team. He will clear waivers, that does not mean he'll come to the Sox, all it means is that the Reds will have full power to trade him to what ever team they wish if they want. That is what probably happens. The only real team I could see going after him is the White Sox, so it would only make sense if they just let him clear waivers and try to work out a trade instead of just claiming all of his contract.

Apparently Benson wants a deal similar to what Rivers got last year. Not happening.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) If thats how were going to do it: Listen son, im not sure how you think I was b****ing about anything. I didnt mention the sox, I wasnt b****ing, in fact nothing in my original post had any writing from me. I just copied their post word for word. If you have no sense of humor you wont get through life alive. If this hits a sour note because of the similarities of cub and red sox fans, then fine theres your background. You are self-described 1/10th sox fan, have almost no background growing up in this city, and dont seem to understand the hilariousness of this cub fan's post. The fact is, they are happy when they lose because then they dont have to watch the game, a classic sterotype. You are the one who is b****ing about us, and you have had nothing to add to this thread other than calling other people childish and pathetic. Its kids like you who make this thread deteriorate, when it was started so lightheartedly. *** You spelled stereotype wrong. Let me fix your post. :headshake I agree.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:15 PM) Junior says he enjoys coming to Chicago. Levine says he probably WILL NOT come to the White Sox. Why God Why?!?!?!?!?!

I think this was already posted.

Chill guys, it's just constructive criticism. I'm indifferent to the move because it could go both ways. We all want the White Sox to win, so let's calm down the mood around here and stop the attacking. I'm talking about all over the board.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) Please clear waivers and please please come to the whitesox. We get Griffey and we get a WS. He will do what Thomas does when he is healthy. He will instantly not only give us a bat in the lineup, but someone who gets hitters around them better pitches to hit. That's what I said. Let's hope the Yankees feel the season is pretty much lost with Steinbrenner ripping Torre, Sox taking 2 of 3 from them and Pavano out for another 6 weeks. That's the only real competition I see for getting Griffey. Please god let this happen. Please, please please.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) This was the series to convince you? If anything, I left this series questioning the Sox offense more than ever before. What ^ said.

Couple of notes from Chicago Tribune Live: 1)Griffey is as of now on waivers according to Bruce Levine. 2)Griffey has no problem with Chicago. 3)Griffey and his family actually visit Chicago a couple of times of years.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) 2 names that may make it through waivers: Jeromy Burnitz, Tod Walker I think I'd take a flyer on Burnitz.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:05 AM) Like it or not, what you are watching right now is playoff baseball. Quit b****ing, get used to it. Come September this is how every game will be. What were those Cardinal playoff games like last year? How about the BoSox games? Houston games?

Thanks for the notes. I really wish it would happen because we have a non-existant offense.

I'd look at Selanne and Deadmarsh.

I like the respect given unlike Red Sux fans. I think I'll turn into a partial Yankee fan.

Day game that was away. Perfect game for Freddy to pitch.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) excellent post from a yankees fan about the game: don't. The ChiSox have by far the best pitching staff in the AL. If you're going to beat Chicago, you have to beat them at their game. You need to have great starting pitching. We did that. But you also need to play smart, hardnosed baseball on the basepaths. We didn't do that. And you need to play airtight defense. We didn't do that, either. Defense is what cost us this series. Chicago plays the kinda defense that turns hits into outs. And we play the kinda defense that turns outs into hits. Where'd you get that from? I mean messageboard that is. And don't worry, I won't troll, but I just want to read opinions of those in the outside world.

I doubt he gets it. Kotsay will probably end up with it. Maybe Jeremy Reed since we know how infatuated BBTN is with his defense.
